Hmm... whilst we're waiting for Claudillo to confirm, here's a bonus pic,
Politically it's in Europe but geologically its 'North America' also has a unique claim to fame in Europe as its most -----? airport, hopefully no clues in the url!

Is the bonus pic Corvo by any chance? Looks a touch too metropolitan to be Flores..!
Old not Bold & Bamra, congratulations - it's the former four year home of the Scotsman Alexander Selkirk - Now Chilean (the island, rather than the scotsman, who returned home after living on goats to while his days away down the boozer) and known by the name Isla Robinson Crusoe, for whom Selkirk is to have provided the inspiration
Good job!

Claudillo, yup it's Villa Nova do Corvo, which I believe is Europe's most westerly airport. Beautiful island and friendly people.

I should think that St Martin qualifies as the most westerly place that is politically an integral part of "Europe". They officially use the Euro and vote in French and EU elections. It is part of the "Region" and "Department" called Guadeloupe. Admittedly a DOM, not within the hexagon.
This would make the Grand Case Airport TFFG the most-westerly "European" airport. Second would be Baillif Airport at Basse Terre on Guadeloupe itself. Google Earth grossly mislocates Baillif. It is in the northern suburbs of the town of Basse Terre.
Pardon this niggling response.

First hints
The picture was taken at Christmas time and the red and green things at the right are the glass-block elevator/lift towers for the parking garage to the right of them. White lights are used the rest of the year.
The terminal is on the left.
